Other Bain photos of him:

Mario and Spartaco were his brothers sons (PS: thanks to Art Siegel), see The New York Times, December 21, 1913

Not his brothers, but his sons. According to information in the Times article, the older son Spartaco was born about 1901. He was married to Egeria Guerrera Amato. etd.lsu.edu/docs/available/etd-11112009-092220/unrestrict... Mario, born about 1903, was still living in New York in 1943 when he had a scrape with the law. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F6071FFF395C167B...
